I believe Julliard already mentioned the column limit was bumped up (I believe it was actually 120?). 1024 resolution isn't exactly "typical" anymore, even for laptops - most developers I know actually have more than one screen nowadays. As for terminal emulators, they may default at 80 but that can always be changed.
